215/65 R16 Tyres

[LMC]

Has any one experience of this tyre size fitment?

Are there any clearance issues?

Tyre diameter goes from approx 664mm to 686mm, an increase of 22mm.

The Yeti concept I believe had 215/65 R16 tyres, mind it was just a static. Would imagine the rears would be OK but I'm unsure of the fronts; think there's a high chance of fouling something. Oh and I'm pretty sure your speedo and mileometer might be edging into the realms of clocking (under reading)

Any reason your looking at such a size :wonder:

I need a tyre which can cope with a lot of off road use throughout winter.

The standard tyres should cope well enough in the summer though.

Not a great choice or availability of 60 profile 4x4 tyres, but loads of 65.

I’m a mole catcher and tow a 500kg trailer and quad bike to some pretty sticky locations.

I’m considering a Yeti to replace my Nissan Terrano which is a fantastic off road vehicle but not very economical, 27mpg tops towing and I do 25k a year.

The Nissan speedo reads 10% out, true speed by satnav 63mph, speedo says 70mph. Not clocking, but I never get done for speeding!!

Look up Yokohama's Geolandar, there's a mud plugger version available in the 215/60 R16 size.
